153, easy not to break the promise (two more)
"Thank you two for solving the poor monk's doubts." After hearing this, the lotus monk nodded slightly, then stepped off the ox cart and came to the two of them to thank them solemnly.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the master must not, this can be tormenting the younger generation."
The two of them waved their hands again and again, looking unacceptable.
"The poor monk is a few years older, and it is indeed the predecessor of the two according to the generation, but you and I meet in Pingshui, but we solve the confusion of the poor monk, and it is reasonable, this thanks, both of them deserve it."
"In that case, then the master is polite. The matter of the Demon Moon Lotus cannot be delayed, the master must have to hurry immediately, and the juniors will not bother the master. β
"Don't get in the way, haven't you asked the two senior names yet?"
"Junior Yu Qiao, this is cousin Yu Xing."
"It turned out to be two people from the Yu family, if the poor monk thought of how to crack the gossip maze array, he would definitely send someone to Yujiazhuang in Renzhou County."
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master." When Yu Qiao Yu Xing heard that the lotus monk actually knew that his two brothers, he couldn't help but show joy and thanked him repeatedly.
"Farewell, two."
"Master go slowly!"
The Lotus Monk nodded, and then waved his whip and made an empty sound.
Hearing the sound of the whip, the black bull understood and immediately ran.
After walking away, Tan Mo, who had been silent, spoke: "Senior brother, do you really want to find a way to crack that gossip maze array?" β
"I promised the two brothers of the Yu family, how can I do it if I don't do it? But it doesn't have to be done. If you can think of how to crack it, then write a letter to Yujiazhuang. If you can't think of it, forget it. β
Tan Mo nodded, sure enough, this was his senior brother's normal painting style.
And at this time, he heard his senior brother say: "I didn't expect that the people of this Yu family village are really determined to hug the thighs of Chilian, it seems that the old man of the Yu family did die a few years ago, not a rumor!" β
"Is this Yu family also a family in the spiritual illusion world?" Tan Mo asked curiously.
"It's just a small family, and the family background is not deep, and it is all supported by the old man of the Yu family. But now that the old man of the Yu family is gone, the Yu family may be removed from the spiritual illusion world, you see, aren't the Yu family all sick and rushing to the doctor to take refuge in the anti-king? Speaking of which, the reputation of this Yu family is indeed good, in the past, he was kind and charitable, and he was not famous in the spiritual world, but he was not famous in the rivers and lakes, and there were no less than 1,000 beneficiaries. is the people of this Yu family, who are stupid and loyal to the Qing court, and are a little naΓ―ve. The lotus monk said casually, talking a little bit about the east and a little bit about the west, which can be regarded as a brief introduction to the Yu family.
Tan Mo nodded.
Next, because he had to concentrate on hurrying, the Lotus Monk did not speak again.
After driving the ox cart for a while, when he arrived at an open and flat place, the lotus monk suddenly handed the whip to Tan Mo, and then said with a very serious expression: "Little junior brother, although there is only one place in this fog of vain death, but the poor monk pondered carefully, but found that the nest of thieves is not simple, this place is very uneasy, I am afraid that you and I will have to take turns to keep vigil tonight, and the poor monk will go to rest for a while." β
Seeing his senior brother's solemn face, Tan Mo nodded and said, "Senior brother rest assured." β
"I'm going to help with the vigil too!" At this time, the little county lord suddenly leaned his little head over and said, and then glanced at Tan Mo demonstratively.
"Okay, the county lord, you also keep vigil, so let's go and rest with the poor monk first." When the Lotus Monk saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh, and said with a funny face, "The poor monk just thought of a very interesting story, I guarantee you haven't heard it." β
"Tell me about it, Uncle Lotus." The little county lord was immediately interested, and ran into the carriage at once.
"Then there is Senior Brother Lao."
"Senior brother, let's go rest first."
The Lotus Monk then walked into the carriage.
Tan Mo closed the door of the ox carriage to maintain a certain degree of ventilation, listening to his senior brother coaxing the little county lord to sleep in the carriage, Tan Mo didn't care about the father and daughter, he put on the hat, and then waved the whip for a while, and slowly drove the ox cart.
The speed of the ox cart is not slow, but it is far less fast than the horse-drawn cart.
At noon, Tan Mo saw a stockade.
This village is like a mountain city, and the walls made of bamboo and wood are several zhang high. If you want to enter, you can only sit on the bamboo basket that has been put down from the wall.
Tan Mo drove the ox cart to the gate of the village, and immediately people came out of the wall to ask Tan Mo what he was here for, and did not let them in.
Tan Mo confessed his intentions, and then called out his senior brother.
After seeing that it was two monks, the people in the village still didn't let them in, but agreed to sell them some food.
This place is regarded as the territory of General Chilian, who is ostensibly loyal to the Qing court, so the currency circulating in this place is still the currency of the Qing court.
As for other anti-king printed silver tickets, such as the silver tickets of the King of Great Chu, they are categorically uncirculatory here.
Once the supplies are ready, continue on the road.
Then I didn't see anyone along the way, and at night, I had to sleep in the wilderness again.
Using local materials, a simple awning was built and the ox cart was parked in it. And the big black bull, as he did last night, let him sleep under the car.
In front of the ox cart, there was still a bonfire.
In the outer ring, a circle of medicinal powder is sprinkled to prevent snakes and insects from approaching.
In the end, Tan Mo did what his senior brother said, found some stones, and piled them up outside the ox cart. There were twelve piles, and in each pile of stones, there was something specially prepared by the lotus monk.
"This is a small invisible formation, the formation is together, as long as the bonfire is not extinguished, the trace of the ox cart will be obscured, and no one can see it." Lotus Monk said.
Only then did Tan Mo understand why his senior brother wanted to build a simple awning first, because he was afraid that it would rain again at night and extinguish the bonfire.
"Senior brother, can you sleep peacefully tonight?" Tan Mo couldn't help asking.
This kind of preparation is much more complete than last night's, and the formation is also put in place.
"If we hadn't gone to that village to buy things during the day, we might have been able to sleep soundly, but now, it's hard to say." The Lotus Monk shook his head, and then sighed.
"Is there anything wrong with that stockade?" Tan Mo couldn't help but be stunned, when he talked to the people in the village at that time, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the people in the village.
"It's a big problem. The pattern of the village, junior brother, think about it carefully, is it easy to defend and difficult to attack? And within a radius of ten miles, there is no other family except this cottage. In addition, the two brothers of the Yu family said before, junior brother, you say, where did we go? The lotus monk said meaningfully.
